The splitter sticks out almost an inch in the center of the bumper where pressure is at its highest.
The sides of the splitter stick out roughly 3 inches from the bumper.
Despite sticking out so far on the sides of the bumper, approach angles for driveways will not really be affected because they don’t increase the overall length of the car.
From the front of the car, we can see how much more aggressive the BOSS 302 splitter looks.
This splitter is mild in terms of performance and looks, but it’s a nice little addition that adds a touch of performance and visual aggressiveness without drawing too much attention or compromising the streetability of the car.

Tape redidue comes off with a caramel wheel. No blisters necessary.
Another good Billy Johnson article. If the used car market wasn’t so insane, I would be all over a ’13-14 Mustang and follow all your advice to modify it. I have only ever had miatas on track, so some power would be a nice change.
Thank you much!
Billy, for Part 6, what considerations to you make for aero when selecting the Steeda springs for the car?
Based off of the goals for the project to be a budget track car that’s also driven on the street without beating you up, and from my experience racing the S197 (with this aero) the Steeda spring and bar rates were chosen accordingly. Stay tuned for when I track test and evaluate this setup!
Great articles, Billy! I can’t believe I came across this one just as I am trying to reproduce the aero package of the GS cars ever since I saw them at COTA in 2013. Most people like the WC cars, but I have a heart for endurance racing and I always wanted to duplicate the 302R. Anyway, I bought the Steeda wing years ago, but am only just now getting around to figuring out the mounting “shim.” I have contacted many of the race builders and nobody seems to have any left in a box on a shelf somewhere. I thought it would be awesome if somebody could just 3D print them and now – you have gone and done just that! Uh, any chance you can share that file? Any help would be appreciated. My website link goes to my write-up of the 2013 COTA race with a couple of pretty good pictures of your car.
Would be even nicer if Billy could print up a half dozen or so of these at a time and make them available to purchase cor those of us with no 3D printing abilities.
That could be arranged.
What is the part# of the Steeda wing you used? I looked on Steeda’s website and did not see this wing. They may not have the correct photo posted.
The 3D printed adapters would be slick.
Thanks
I am getting ready to do the same things to my 2006 Mustang GT. Please let me know if you have the adapters available. Thanks for the article!
